Contrasts

For the most part the recent weather here has been amazing even my rhubarb has plucked up courage and put in an appearance - just. But not all days are blue sky and sunshine. Last week we walked to Vaich Dam on the Strathvaich Estate. Winter still holds on in places. Highland Cattle are generally quite timid and shy - but their large size and horns make us quite wary when we walk by. I had a similar hair style to this once. Just washed it and shook my head about until dry. The end result looked very much like this - though without the horns!

This is not a new life, rather a change in direction. In September 2007 Niels (husband)and I moved to the highlands of Scotland with the intention of building a danish timber framed house on a piece of land we bought just south of Ullapool. The house has now been built, but it isn't exactly finished! This blog will reflect our life here and record the finishing of the house - I hope!
